Hi, welcome! As the illustrator on this book I was given the chance to purchase copies at a very discounted rate from the publisher when the title went out of print just over a year ago. Therefore, I am able to offer them to you at a very reduced rate. This is my experiment in seeing if I continue with a store like this in the future depending on if I can drive the sales necessary to build a business while avoiding sites like Amazon. The goal is for artist to benefit more directly from the proceeds of their art. Thanks for stopping by!
